The Elvis Presley Channel is launching as an ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel featuring movies, series and lifestyle programming inspired by the King of rock’n’roll.
Now available in the United States, The Elvis Presley Channel has been launched by Cinedigm in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises, and ABG Entertainment. It has distribution via LG Channels, Amazon Freevee, VIZIO WatchFree+, Comcast’s Xumo, Plex, Allen Media Group’s Local Now and Dish Network’s Sling TV.
